Ladies and gents, grab your knightly swords and magical wands, ’cause we’re about to embark on an enchanting journey to Himeji, a town that’s straight out of a storybook. Known as the “White Heron Castle,” Himeji is all things mystical, traditional, and yes, irresistibly Japanese.
Situated in the Hyōgo Prefecture, Himeji is not just a city; it’s a time capsule. With its centrepiece, Himeji Castle, looming large and proud, the city invites you to take a stroll down the lanes of history. What’s that, you ask? Why, it’s a tale as old as time!
